There's actually a much easier solution: allow for the various objects 
to wrap NULL pointers. In other words, add a couple of object 
Qt.NULLMovie and such that are movie-objects but wrapping a null 
pointer.

It's on my todo list, but at the moment I have absolutely no time for 
Python work (as people have undoubtedly noticed).

And the bit of information that Bob probably missed is that I've had 
the MacPython Quicktime module working on windows at some point in the 
past. So it is really a question of cleanup and polishing.
